"Clayton Best Western"

This is a great place to stay in an area with few options. Clayton is small town, but it is a hub for travelers. We were coming from Colorado and were very tired. The rooms were amazing and the staff very helpful and friendly.

We have stayed here several times while traveling to Colorado. The quality of the rooms decline with each visit. First the positive. Staff is welcoming and breakfast is good. Now the problems. Lots of flies in the room. The motel placed a fly swatter in the room and we got at least six: there were more. Decor is very dark and in need of updating.

I killed 6 flies with my flip flop before we called the front desk. She said there is supposed to be a flyswatter in the room but she brought us one. I think they were crawling in under the door. I don't know but it seemed like an endless task killing them and we left the door closed.
The beds slept well and the towels were big and new. The internet was junk. It would not stay hooked up and we were trying to book more rooms up the road.
There was plenty of ice in the machine. Breakfast was maybe a pinch better than usual.
Dumas has the same fly problem. Maybe it's just the area.

"Great stay"

We have stayed at this Best Western at least 20 times over the years and always found it to be a great place to stay while on the road. It is right on our way to our favorite summer vacation destination (Colorado Rockies) and just the right distance to make the trip in two days. We always try to stay there both coming and going. Their pet friendly attitude is very helpful too.

Hotel was fine. Room was clean. Swimming pool was very dirty. Disappointing for kids who looked forward to swimming all day and was a main amenity I was looking for in a hotel. Breakfast was good. Pool should be clean and well kept as shown online.

Clean room, nice staff, great breakfast. This looks popular - get your reservation in advance.
We got in late to a full hotel (the desk is staffed at night). We woke up the next day, enjoyed breakfast and hauled on out. This is a great place to stop off.

Needed somewhere to stay on July 6, just travelled into NM, to check it off our “states travelled” list. This is located in a small city, book early or you might not get a room in town anywhere.
Pros
Front desk girls were very courteous
Gas station literally across the street
Great breakfast options, one of our favorite breakfasts by far, no powdered eggs. Breakfast area is small, located behind the front office
Beds were comfy, a complete surprise and not like most hotels.
Cons
Stairs to second floor only, stairs are outside facing the tiny parking lot, request the first floor if your unable to use the stairs without assistance.
Trains run behind the hotel, they would blast their horns even when running through the night, this didn't bother us as we drowned out the noise with an additional fan, but it could be problematic to light sleepers.
Girl working breakfast area asked me what my room numbers was, as I was waiting in line to get food for my kids. She did this to me, yet didn't ask the 3 people ahead of me in line, nor did she ask my husband. Definitely felt as if I had been singled out as I've never been asked that at any of the hotels I've ever stayed at.
Overall a good hotel, the biggest minus was the lady at breakfast.

"A great place to stop while on the long drive from Texas to points west."

We drive every year from Houston to NW Colorado and this year we stopped at this hotel for the night. The service was great, rooms neat, pet friendly and an early breakfast that was just fine. I made he reservation on line and then called the hotel to confirm, especially for our small dog. Very pleasant on the phone and marked our room for a location closest to the dog park. Really made me feel they take an interest in their guests!

The room was great except for the broken shower pull knob in room 117. You cannot grab it with your fingers to turn off the shower. Cool a/c, great breakfast, wipe down towels for the MC's to boot. Quiet location which is across the street from gas and groceries be if needed.

"Very nice pet-friendly hotel"

24/05/2018

This was our 3rd stay at this hotel. We travel with our 2 Chihuahuas and originally found this hotel in the AAA pet-friendly hotel guide.
Dog treats on arrival, nice touch.
It is very well maintained inside and out. There is a nice sized pet area for walking your pet where bags and bin are provided.
There is also a large parking lot for large vehicles.
There is a restaurant next door which provides a complimentary breakfast for hotel guests.
We would definitely stay here again.

We had children and worried about a safe place to park our boat. We were impressed that all of our needs were met and expectations were exceeded in this location!

But the Kokopelli is getting close.
Had a great room, breakfast was very good and everyone was really nice. Had a great night sleep and plan on coming back to this property soon.
I often mention the quality of the breakfast. Some properties just do it better than others. Same basic product, but somehow properties like the Kokopelli have it figured out.
I have stayed at this property many times since the place opened. The room I was in this time had been remodeled, and was very nice. Slept well, and isn't that what we all want anyway?

Hotel is ok. It was clean and probably the best hotel in Clayton. The train passes right behind and the night we came through decided to blow its horn at 1 am forever. Room was good size and the beds were comfortable. Over all the service was friendly and good. Breakfast was also decent bit overall the hotel was just average in my opinion.

Nicely decorated place with enough green space to walk our Golden Doodle. It is right on a busy road, but the road noise is not bad in the rooms. Convenient to liquor store and convenience store right across the street. The beds were very comfortable with crisp sheets. Our king room on the second floor (224) had a great shower with good water pressure. Front desk folks are very responsive and helpful. Breakfast was a surprise with all the usual plus green chiles, tortillas, grits, and pancakes. Pet fee was $10. Check out the lovely artisan jewelry for sale in the lobby showcase. Would stay here again!

We stopped here on a road trip. It was everything folks have said. Clean, friendly, easy access. I wouldn't give it 5 stars, but 4.5 appropriate. Will definitely stay here again. Breakfast is a little sparse. Coffee better than expected.

Stopped here overnight to CO. Rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast surprisingly good — healthier than one's average hotel buffet. All the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Shower hot and strong, and ample clean towels. Lots of parking.

"Great Little Hotel!!!"

My family and I stopped here for the night while traveling, and we loved it! The rooms are fun, and, more importantly, very clean! Breakfast was very good, and the ladies putting breakfast together (Amber and the cook) were very sweet and thoughtful, as was everyone at the front desk. I highly recommend staying here!

It's always difficult to find a comfortable place to rest after driving all day. This Best Western was one of the best we've ever run into! Helpful staff, delicious complimentary full breakfast included several gluten-free options, and the charm of an old motel, pulling our car right up to the room's door. Our room was meticulously kept, clean and comfortable beds, complimentary coffee and toiletries. If you find yourself in this northern corner of New Mexico as we did while driving from Colorado to Texas, you can book with confidence. Excellent stay.

We were checked in by a very helpful, kind young lady at the desk. We were given key cards that didn't work, so had to go back to the desk. Once we got into the room, we found it very clean and quiet except for the train whistles about 3:00am. When showering, my husband found himself standing in water, as the tub was not draining well.
The breakfast offered was very good. The area was kept very clean. There was coffee, juices, sausage, scrambled eggs, cereal, oatmeal and much more.

10/02/2018

This was my favorite stop along my route between Oregon and Texas. The service was exceptional, everything was so clean and comfy, and I loved that I could park my car right next to my room.
I slept great at this quaint little hotel way out in nowhere. When I was trying to decide where to spend the night I had to choose by photo's., and I was very leery about this place based on the old looking building and some of the interior photos BUT was I ever wrong!
The welcoming environment created by the staff made me fall in love with this place as soon as I checked in. This is a wonderful spot to spend the night. It's an old motel that's been repurposed into a great place to stay. The beds were very comfortable and everything smelled great and looked adorable.

Hard to say anything different from all the other reviews....
The rooms look like they were finished an hour before we checked in. They were so clean and in such super shape.
So here is the best thing these folks can do for us.......
Teach all the other hotel people how it's properly done!

The room was clean but the wifi was not very good as it kept coming and going. Also be sure to keep the door closed because flies will get in. It is conveniently located near the gas station and (if you're old enough) the liquor store. I would only stay the night though not any longer.

We stayed here on our way to Colorado, and we will definitely not hesitate to stay there again in the future! It is a well-maintained property with a nice seating area for a picnic (in nice weather), nice place to take the dogs to walk around, and best of all the hotel room was sparkling clean! Another great asset was the very fresh breakfast that is served with real, fresh cracked eggs! Another nice addition to our stay was no pet fee applied.
The front desk people were very helpful and pleasant and it overall was a nice experience!

We love this hotel. We plan our trips around staying here when possible. The staff is great, the place is always clean and comfortable. They have oversized parking if you have a trailer in tow. They have local handmade items for sale. They are well located. But the BREAKFAST is hands down the best hot breakfast anywhere we have ever stayed! We never regret our stays here.

This is probably the cleanest motel I've ever stayed at. People who work here seem genuinely happy and friendly. It is one of the quietest places I've ever stayed, and I'm a very light sleeper. The green chili on the breakfast buffet is outstanding! I always try to time my travels to spend the night here.

A very pleasant surprise in Clayton. It is an older motel with exterior entrance and has been remodeled in recent years. The lobby entrance is welcoming but with stairs so someone might have to search for the ramp entrance or go around to the back to enter the lobby from the back parking area. Lobby is both reception area and gift shop. Rooms are large and clean with nice linens and towels. WiFi was fine. Best surprise was the really great breakfast. We normally skip hotel breakfast bars because most of them are now so sub-standard. This one was over the top. Good coffee, fresh homemade muffins, real eggs, etc...just remember to know your room number so the attendant can write it down...not really sure what that is all about...The dog area is large and grassy and supplied with bags and trash bin. Very lovely hotel in a small town.

Headed to Taos on the scenic route and spent the night at this older Best Western property and were pleasantly surprised.
It is well kept up with clean rooms, a friendly staff at check in and check out, and the free breakfast was one of the best we've ever had.
If you're coming from the Texas/Oklahoma panhandle, Kansas, or eastern Colorado it's a great stop for an easy 3 hour drive to Taos via Cimmaron.

We stayed in an older style motel. Which we had not done for a long time. It was updated and clean. The people were very friendly and helpful. It was a little difficult taking suitcases up steps to the second floor. Be nice if they put older couples on the first floor however we could have asked & didn't. They did have dogs accepted on the ground floor. The gift shop was also very nice.

We have stayed here a coupe of times as we travel from Denver to Dallas- and back- Check in is easy and the staff is very helpful- they even called our room after 30 minutes or so to check and see if the room was to our satisfaction. The complimentary breakfast is one of the best I have ever had - well worth the price of the room- it was restaurant quality - The rooms are clean, neat and roomy- bathroom towels are top quality - only negative is the slow speed of the wi-fi-,

"Very pleasant stay in Clayton"

10/11/2017

We chose to stay here for our first overnight in Clayton, partially based on previous reviews. Staff there was very friendly and helpful. I asked for a quiet room with two queen beds and room 219 was exactly what I requested. Southwestern decor was quite attractive, and the room was very comfortable. Nice touch was seating for two with a little table at the side of the room. The sink was separate from the toilet and shower, and this is a nice feature. Having a bench for luggage was also a nice touch. We were able to chill our bottle of wine in the small fridge. Beds were quite comfortable, and extra pillows were very good. I had no difficulty with the WiFi in the room so access to my IPad was easy. The heater was a bit noisy, but we were pleased overall. It was possible to hear the trains rumble through town, but that did not really disturb our sleep.
Their breakfast included fresh scrambled eggs, sausage, grits, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, etc. Nice touch was salsa and jalapeños. The coffee could have been hotter, but the food choices were varied enough to please anyone.

The check-in staff was very pleasant. The cleanliness of the room was marginal - didn't want to walk on the carpeting barefoot. Bed was just fine. Pillows weren't my favorite - this could be personal preference. Breakfast was inferior. Breakfast staff needs to learn more customer service skills. For the price of the room, we most likely will not stay there again. Next night was spent in another hotel that cost 1/3rd less and was much more to our standards. Even though a truck stop was directly across the street, thankfully we did not hear the truck traffic during the night.

This hotel was nice and clean. Not very much outside noise but some. Big enough for two people. Bath tub was very slippery so it needs a rubber mat. Breakfast was very good and had a TV to keep up with the news and weather for the day. Check in and out was very good as well. Our room was across the street , but short walk to breakfast area. Overall everything was good for us.

This place was awesome, from check-in to check-out. My husband hurt his back during our multi-state, multi-day road trip and when we realized we would not be making it to our destination the night we were in Clayton, we called Best Western first. Not only was the employee on the phone pleasant to talk to, but she also helped us get into a ground-floor unit. The room was... roomy, the staff were a delight, the bed was comfortable, the reception area looked like a gift shop,and the breakfast was awesome!
The highlight of the stay was the breakfast. Not only was there hot food choices available, but they offered gluten-free and dairy-free options on request. Since my husband has food "issues", it was nice to be able to provide him something other than oatmeal for breakfast that was also hot food (after 10 days oatmeal got...pardon the pun... hard to swallow).
Kudos to this Best Western. We will definitely stay here again next time we're in the area.

This would be a very nice place to stay but I can only recommend it if you're travelling with an animal. If you don't like dogs or can't be around them for whatever reason, this is not your place. Even if the front desk promises your room has never had pets in it, it has. I speak from experience.

Bill C, General Manager at Best Western Kokopelli Lodge, responded to this review
Thank you for your review on Trip Advisor. I do apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay with us. Your room was definitely a designated pet free room. Unfortunately not everyone is always honest about having pets with them. Since your stay with us we have taken steps to deep clean all of our designated pet free rooms. We work hard to try to meet or exceed all guest requests in a timely manner. Safe travels!

We were just passing through Clayton on a long drive and decided to stop for the night at this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews. The room was more upscale than we expected and the hotel had amenities like workout room that we didn't think we'd see in small town motel. Though there is a train track nearby (as in every small town), the noise was minimal. The buffet breakfast was fantastic!! Local green and red chili sauces, pastries that they warmed for us, plentiful sausages, eggs, biscuits and gravy, fried potatoes--our quick overnight stop turned into a surprisingly pleasant stay!

"Excellent!!"

I specifically chose this hotel because it's dog friendly. The staff was very helpful and friendly, rooms are nicely furnished and very comfortable, the internet was ok (not the fastest but still usable to check email and whatnot). The best feature was the mini dog park at the property. If you're traveling with pets, I highly recommend this hotel.

Owner's son manning front desk. Super pleasant. Brought me my rewards info-was already a member-through the rain just to get me the number for the future! Can't bear that! Very pleasant room. Quiet.

Well-maintained facility. Great job updating to modern conveniences without losing the original quaintness and local flavor. Really friendly and helpful staff at check in and at breakfast. Great breakfast with REAL eggs and REAL sausage! We were lucky to get the only parking spot left, but the motel was full, and we had a late arrival. Parking lot would be my only real concern with this place.

We recently finished a family trip in which we spent over 10 nights in hotels and motels. We stayed in this BW our first night out and this motel was one of the nicest we stayed at. When you enter this BW, the first thing you see is the beautifully decorated lobby area. Lot's of New Mexican/native american art and jewelry. These art themes were continued effectively in our motel room.
Other than the decorations, the room was a little better than the average motel room. It was clean, had a refrigerator, and met our needs.
The breakfast the next day was really special. There was a buffet line with all the makings for breakfast tacos, including red and green chilies. There was a staff person working on the line to ensure that the lines were fresh and the breakfast area was clean. In addition, there are 2 coffee bars in the dining room and multiple seating areas.
This motel started our trip off on a positive foot. The staff was really friendly, It did a really good job of showing off some of the best of New Mexico and Best Western.

Our children and grandchildren visited us in Wyoming from Houston, Texas. Instead of them driving for 20+ hours straight through, I told them to use my rewards points to stay mid-way. They ended up getting a free stay for the evening. My daughter stated that there were no other lodging accommodations in the area and she was grateful for us reserving their room in Clayton for the evening. Long drive for 2 adults with 3 teenagers! I am happy to report that they were very pleased with the hotel, staff, and accommodations there. She said that would be their stopping point for future trips. Thank you so much for taking care of my family, when I cannot! Robin Wellhouse

Though the town is not exactly "nice" or a place to walk your kids, the hotel is great. Its clean, and located right across from a large gas station for quick snacks or gas in the morning. The ladies at the front are nice and efficient. The breakfast is a bit better than your normal continental and the staff in the breakfast area are really nice as well. We had no problems or complaints.

We had the pleasure of staying on a sunday night in the sleepy little town of Clayton, NM. The room was up to date, and the sheets and linens crisp and clean. The staff could not have been more accommodating, and our special requests for a lower floor..knee replacment..and extras towels were ready when we checked in. A highlight was the complimentary breakfast with many different choices, all which were very tasty.
All in all, this was a gem in the middle of the prairie.

We got a courtesy call from the front desk about an hour after we got settled in our room to see if we were OK or needed anything. This is not a typical occurrence at the hotels we have stayed in before. We went to the breakfast in the morning and there was a good variety of foods to choose from and it was very good tasting. We Will be back.

This is a superior Best Western and a hospitality highlight for Clayton. Check-in, complete with doggie treats, was friendly and easy. The property is uniquely decorated in New Mexican style with everything freshly painted and in beautiful condition. The pool and surrounding grounds are lovely. Very nice Native American jewelry, etc in the lobby area. The highlight was the authentic northern New Mexico cuisine served at breakfast. Homemade red and green chile accompanied eggs. Biscuits and gravy with great sausage were all house prepared. Kokopelli served the best breakfast we have had at a Best Western. Bill Cook, manager, was wonderful. Highly recommend if you are in Clayton.

"An Oasis"

Daniel B, Coarsegold, California

For reference, I rate typical BWs 3-stars and typical Hamptons are 4-stars. We enjoy the BW brand because they are all different, similar to Forest Gump's "... like a box full of chocolates..." Assuming you have stayed at other BWs, then you know that the room layout and furnishings are basic. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable, and all the appliances functional. The property appeared well maintained, with a swimming pool, shuffleboard court, and a grassy area with outdoor tables and chairs. Hotel staff were friendly and professional. The complimentary breakfast was above average. Tortillas and Red and Green chili sauces added a traditional southwestern flare. There are a couple of local restaurants within 5-blocks. This part of NM/OK/TX is sparsely populated. Dalhart, TX is about 35 miles to the south and Springer, NM is about 85 miles to the west. The morning after our stay the BW parking lot was full, I recommend making reservations.

My boyfriend and I checked in here one evening after receiving a refund from a nearby chain hotel after a not-so-good experience. We were lucky to obtain the last room they had for the night, and I can see why they sell out. We stayed in a downstairs King room by the pool. The room was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. The bed was very comfortable. We would have slept very well if not for the guests in the room above us walking around starting at 4:00 am and continued until check-out. That happens at every hotel though. Also, lots of noise from outside the room starting early in the morning with people coming down the staircase and packing their cars. That is really my only complaint and that's no fault of the hotel. If we were to stay again, I would request a 2nd level room, at the end not by the pool or a staircase. The breakfast was definitely above par for similar hotels. Was kept well stocked even in the last hour. Very helpful and friendly front desk and breakfast attendant. If you have to stay in clayton for the night, this is definitely the hotel to stay in.

"Best Little Hotel on the High Plains"

Sue Z, San Diego, United States

We have stayed at Kokopelli Lodge six times, and will always stay there whenever we travel west through New Mexico. The entire staff is friendly and very helpful, and create a very positive environment for a pleasant stay. The room decor is very attractive in the Southwest theme, and even small amenities such as shampoos and lotions are nicer than average. You will enjoy the free breakfast that features a wait staff and breakfast burritos as an option. You can also shop for jewelry and gifts by area artists in the lobby. You will not be disappointed!
If you stay there, be sure to visit Clayton State Park, only a 15-minute drive. You'll pass through beautiful high plains with antelope grazing and end up at a beautiful park. We pack a picnic dinner, grill out in one of the picnic pavilions, and then take the short hike over the lake dam to view the dinosaur tracks. Amazing. We end the day with a trek along the nature trail (lots of deer and birds) and a viewing of the endless night sky and stars, a designated International Dark Sky site. This little park is a gem.

The Kokopelli Lodge is a gem of a hotel. The breakfast is wonderful, the decor is welcoming, and the little details from the toiletries to the breakfast sausage to the art and jewelry on display all speak to a place that is loved and that serves from a place of love. I highly recommend it--I even plan our road trips to pass through Clayton when possible just to stay here.

This is the best place in town - bit note it is a motel structure - it is clean. Get to breakfast early or it will be out. Coffee is weak, so bring a back up. The town is cute, it seems safe. In my opinion overpriced. Good internet, but plastic bathtub that moves....terrible soap - smells like toilet cleaner - do not use.

We stay at this hotel/motel every year as we travel from Texas to Colorado. The decor is amazing (and you can buy some of these items); but they even decorate the rooms with the indian items. The people are helpful and always available. I don't hear others through walls. The breakfast is made on site and so special. Blueberry pancakes this trip -- out of this world.

The rooms are immaculate and look like they have just been renovated. The pool is very nice. There is a large side yard with green grass and trees where my grandkids and grand dog could play instead of hanging out in the room. Everyone was very nice. The breakfast was real--real eggs, real ham!! If we are in Clayton again, this will be our destination!

Cynthia K, Euless, Texas
21/11/2016

We stopped in Clayton after a long day geocaching in the Texas panhandle before heading up to Colorado to visit friends and family for the holidays. We arrived fairly late in the evening. The gentleman checking me in was friendly and pleasant, with enough information for getting into the room and having breakfast in the morning, but not too much extra talk. I was pretty exhausted, and I'm sure I looked it, so it was a good call. I did notice the lobby was unusual, and had a number of southwestern themed items for sale - nice enough ones that I wouldn't have minded spending more time and money in there.
Room was comfortable for the four of us, and I was delighted to find a bath mat in the bathroom for the tub. I've got a bad ankle and bad knees, and slick bathtub floors are one of my terrors in hotels. A flat bottomed tub and a bath mat on top of that? I was extremely grateful.
Breakfast in the morning was small, but well stocked. We much appreciated the real eggs used, rather than powdered eggs, and the option to build my own breakfast burrito was much appreciated. My only quibble would have been to have more yogurt flavors available, as I'm not fond of blueberry, but that's just a personal preference.
This hotel was a delightful surprise in a small town, and will definitely put Clayton on our preferred stops on our trips to Colorado in future.

We stayed here on our drive from Houston to Calgary. The hotel itself is motel type style (i.e. old) however the rooms were modern, nicely decorated and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable but the pillows were awful. The bathroom was also clean and functional. The only downside to this hotel is it is near to a rail track which would be fine but every train that went past (day and night) sounded it's horn at least 3 times. I can sleep through most things but not that!

The Best Western Kokopelli lodge in Clayton is a good place to stay. The rooms have exterior entrances, a "motel" type of setup. There is a building in the center of the complex that contains guest registration, a gift shop, a breakfast room and a lounging area for guests, but it looks like this building once contained a restaurant. The breakfast was really good. Guests are given a card with their keys to present to employees in the breakfast room. The room was very clean and had an upholstered bench to sit on in the main room. Maintenance does a good job of keeping everything in good working order. The faucet handle in the shower is a bit tricky and the maintenance man had to explain it to me over the phone. It doesn't turn, it sort of "floats" from side to side. The parking lot for the hotel is rather small. The bed was very comfortable and the TV got a big selection of channels. There are no windows on the back side of the hotel because the hotel is right up against an equipment yard for a construction company. A busy railroad line is only half a block away and they can be heard from the room, but it didn't bother me that much since I live near railroad tracks. Every hotel or motel in Clayton is close to railroad tracks. There is a very busy Love's truck stop across the street and it is a handy place to get whatever you may need, including the cheapest gas in Clayton. The only drawback to this motel is that it is a little on the pricey side, but still in line with, say, a Hampton Inn. There is a state park 11 miles north of Clayton that has a lake, campground and a dinosaur trackway and it is well worth a visit. The design of the motel seems to be from the 1970s era.

This place is clean, has great southwest decor, good location, comfortable beds, even has a cute little doggy park! Breakfast is excellent--hot foods with lots of choices. Could easily be a 2-1/2 or 3 star. Saved a little money booking through priceline.

There aren't a lot of choices when it comes to accommodations in Clayton, New Mexico. An online search of options showed three or four, and some priced higher than I would expect for such a small, out-of-the-way location. The Best Western Kokopelli got my attention because it was priced reasonably compared to the others. We were not disappointed. The lobby was very clean and inviting, lots of beautiful gifts and jewelry were on display from local artists. The staff was very friendly. Though the hotel is really a modernized motel that still has exterior access, the rooms were very well appointed and spacious. The beds -- very comfortable. The bathroom fixtures and tiling was new. The Wi-Fi was free! And so was the full breakfast the next morning. The kitchen was laid out logically which made it easy to figure out where everything was. They even had two staff members manning the chafing dishes full of eggs, ham and sausages. The breakfast featured a wide variety of choices. The dining area was clean. This is an excellent hotel!

We had planned to travel on to Springer, but a late summer hail storm had different ideas. This is an older motel. but very well maintained. Love the people at the front desk, they were so helpful with ideas for restaurants and what we might find down the road. Our room was double booked, but they took care of us. The lobby has a many displays of jewelry/artwork from Native Americans from the Mesa Verde area (where we were headed). Hot breakfast instead of the usual continental fare. Lovely motel and wonderful people.

Stayed at the Best Western Kokopelli Lodge this week on business. They were pretty well booked and I had a 2nd floor room (not fond of carrying luggage up the outdoor steps) but understand they were busy. The rooms are comfortable and they have a lovely breakfast buffet each morning you stay. I regrettably booked my reservation 1-day short of my actual stay. They were so kind to keep me in my room for the night even though they were fully booked! I had left my bags in my room in the morning, of course, and headed to work. They just cleaned as normal and left me a voice mail alerting me to my error. When I stopped in to the front desk, they were kind and understanding, just got me setup for the "extra" night! I truly appreciated the hospitality for sure!

The Best Western Kokopelli Lodge is an older property but has been very well maintained and the rooms have been updated as much as is possible given the style of structure. We have stayed here many times and always find the rooms clean and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast buffet offers many options and is well prepared. Given the distance to other towns with lodging we are always grateful to find availability in the Kokopelli Lodge when we are traveling through Clayton. The only downside to the location is the nearness of a railroad crossing which results in the noise of the train whistle. However, the rooms are well insulated and the noise is only slightly bothersome.

My wife and I were riding our motorcycle to Colorado from near Lubbock, TX, with a one night stay planned in Clayton, NM at the BW Kokopelli Lodge. We were scheduled for a late arrival (Around 10:30 PM). About 17 miles south of Clayton, our bike developed fuel problems and completely shut down. I called the hotel and spoke to Cassandra and explained that we might not be able to make it to the hotel that night. I was prepared to call my roadside assistance and wait it out, but Cassandra said she would call a couple of tow companies that she was aware of and call me back. After not being able to contact anyone with a tow company, she called a personal friend who had a trailer and straps and was willing to drive out and pick us up. We were in our room by 12:30 AM or so, and woke up the next morning to one of the best breakfast buffets we had ever had at a hotel, star rating notwithstanding. The room was clean, reasonably priced, and very welcome for these weary travelers. Everyone treated us wonderfully, but Cassandra and her friend get extra stars from me for going over and beyond what she had to do. Will definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Will definitely stay here again if passing through this area!

My daughter and I were driving from Denver to Austin and hit a thunderstorm outside of Clayton. It was dark and I really wanted to stop traveling for the night. My daughter had stayed at the BW Kokpelli Lodge before and really liked it.
As soon as you walk in you realize how unique this a Best Western this is! The lobby is elegantly decorated in a south western decor. There are cases filled with fine Native jewelry and artworks that are for sale.
Our 2nd floor room was beautiful! Our balcony had a sweet table and chairs overlooking the pool. I so wanted to sit outside but it was still storming.
The beds were very comfortable! Our tub had water jets in it so I had to try it out and it was wonderfully relaxing!
The Kokpelli Lodge offered a terrific full breakfast included in the price of the room. Again, there was amazing Native art beautifully displayed throughout. I wanted to buy everything.
The rooms and main building are immaculate! The breakfast had a complete selection of everything and staff to make omelets to order. Staff is friendly and kind!
Right across the street is gas and a convenient store.
I highly recommend this Best Western Kokpelli Lodge as a perfect place to stay!

This was a really nice hotel for the population of the city. The rooms had a New Mexico vibe and a large vanity sink apart from the shower and toilet area.

Booked a night here based on other reviews. It was exactly as advertised on their site as well as in the reviews. Very clean and neat. Quieter than others as traffic is slower in this part of town. Did no hear traffic during the night. Lobby has extensive display of NM jewelry and other art for sale. Breakfast was fresh using real eggs instead of powdered or frozen. Lots of other items including jar and fresh fruits. Front desk called 30 minutes after we were in our room too check if everything was satisfactory. This will definitely be a repeat stop for us whenever traveling to/from Central Colorado.

I enjoyed our stay at this Best Western due to the quiet and clean facilities and grounds. The breakfast was quite a spread of choices and one of the best complimentary breakfasts that I have ever seen. They had hot scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits, fruit, yogurt, cereal, coffee and other assorted items. The hotel help overseeing the breakfast was really nice and helpful! I also enjoyed looking at their southwestern themed items in their gift shop. The gift shop starts in the lobby and ranges into the breakfast area. We stayed in one of the handicap rooms and there was room for a wheelchair in the bathroom. I have found that not all "handicap accessible" rooms are built with wheelchairs in mind but this one would do!

Nice Best Western in Clayton. Not as new as the Days Inn, but a great room, very clean, nice bathroom and bed. Breakfast was AWESOME, not your typical Best Western breakfast, fresh fruit and lots of extra fixings for a breakfast taco or pancakes, along with a great pastry assortment. Coffee could be a little stronger, but that was the only downside and it was still good tasting. Will be stopping here again if we are through the area.

We are moving cross country and based on reviews we stopped for a night here and it did not disappoint.
Rooms were extremely clean and well taken care of which was my #1 priority. We were in 207 and 208. We traveled with 3 adults, 4 children and 1 dog. They even gave us a goody bag of treats for the dog but it was a $10 pet fee in addition to the already expensive rooms.
They offered gluten free breakfast options and the ladies who served the food were the nicest and were so sweet to our children ages 1, 3, 4 and 6. This was above and beyond. There is also a cute fish pond and a man even let our kids feed the fish. We also collected beautiful pine cones and enjoyed the nice weather.
I would stay here again and recommend. My only complaint was it was the most expensive hotel we booked on our entire trip and restaurant options in the small town were limited. (Maybe 4 restaurants in the town).

Stayed on the way home for a family funeral so we were tired and late arriving. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful although the check-in process was very lengthy - they asked a lot of questions and I had to initial a lot of paperwork. I travel a lot for business and this was the most involved check-in process I have ever experienced. The air conditioner in our first room was broken so the gentleman at the front desk gave us another room and even helped us move our belongings. The breakfast was good. Knowing what else is available in Clayton, I would recommend this establishment although I thought the price was excessive for the type of hotel (outside entrances, older) it was.

This Best Western is an old style motel with a central building in which you check in and two separate, two story buildings with exterior walkways on the second floor level for access to the rooms. Be sure to ask for a ground floor in advance if you have much luggage or can't navigate stairs, as there are no elevators to the second levels. All rooms, of course, face outside, but the motel is far enough off the main road that there was no problem with traffic noise. The rooms are all updated and tastefully done. We had an executive room with two queen beds. The bathroom had a large "L" shaped sink, but regrettably only one sink, which was not clean on check in. No other complaints at all, though. The free breakfast buffet was the best I have seen at a roadside hotel in years, with real scrambled eggs and homemade red and green chile, along with the standard cereals, pastries, potatoes, sausage, fruit, etc. This place was a pleasant surprise, and a nice reminder of the motels I stayed in when traveling with the family as a kid before the arrival of the inexpensive roadside hotels.

We have stayed at this location many times and are always pleased. The rooms are clean, modern, and the breakfast is the best I have seen as an "included breakfast". Real eggs cooked with milk. Real ham, sausage, potatoes and all the other items you would want. Best of all is their green chili sauce for the eggs. I look forward to it and found that they now sell it in frozen plastic quart containers so you can carry some home!
This trip we were two couples traveling. One traveler was 90 years old with mobility issues. The other couple also had one party with mobility issues. We were pleased to see that they had taken care with our request to hold downstairs adjoining rooms for us.
Make your reservations early for this location. Some days it sells out long in advance! A little more expensive than other sites in Clayton, but worth every penny.

Every staff member we met was absolutely friendly and helpful. Our only issues were an AC unit that was more noisy than it should have been and the same was true of the small frig.

Cute and very clean little roadside motel. Love the decor and cleanliness. Beautiful jewelry and decor items for sale in lobby without a sales pitch. Certainly the decor and friendliness of staff offers a warm welcome and good impression of New Mexico. The room itself was quite large (we had king), nice TV and service, no problem with wifi. The actual bath/toilet area was divided for dressing table and sink which was nice. Large in the sink area but cramped in the tub/toilet area. Had a little trouble adjusting the tub temps but once mastered, it was fine with good pressure. The breakfast was very good and all items hot and fresh. The building is "L" shaped and we were in the bottom "L" so parking was a teeny bit cramped...probably would have liked the long building behind the lobby better but even though it was closer to the road, it was quiet. We will definitely stop here again if on this route. My only complaint was the a/c cutting off and on...it didn't have a constant fan so would bring a fan next time as I am a white noise person.

We loved the Southwest decor and artistic touches throughout--from cute metal work designs around the pool enclosure to metal gecko art on the light switches and outlets in the room. It's obvious that someone is paying a lot of attention to the small details that make a difference. The room was super clean--all of the bedding was white, even when pulling back every layer. :-) The towels were thick, fluffy and bright white. My mom broke her hip just two months ago, so finding a nice clean bath mat in the shower was something she especially appreciated. The shower water pressure was perfect with plenty of hot water. Our son loved the heat lamp in the bathroom, as well. Front office and restaurant staff were friendly and caring. The pool and pool area were clean. Breakfast had the choices of cereal, muffins, breads, gluten free options behind the counter, sausage, eggs and pancakes. The buffet was kept well-stocked. The business area and gift shop were also really nice. Definitely plan on staying here again!

Linda and I stopped in Clayton, NM on our way to Lubbock, TX from Breckenridge, CO. We stopped at the first motel we came to in Clayton only to find out there were no rooms available there unless one had made a reservation. So we continued on into Clayton and stopped at this motel, and got the last room they had left. Talk about good timing! Our room was on the 2nd floor (#228), on the end beside the street. The room was nicely decorated and clean. It had a refrigerator and a flat screen TV. The bed was very comfortable, too. One of the best night's sleep I had on our trip so far! Very satisfied with everything about the room. The bathroom's tile decor was awesome, especially the accent tiles around the shower. Also, a big thanks to Britt, the desk clerk, who gave Linda and I some ideas about things to do in Clayton that evening. We had a great time at the street dance downtown, which was just a few blocks away.
Even though the room was close to the street, it was pretty quiet. In the morning, we went to the complimentary breakfast. Eggs, sausage, ham, biscuits, gravy, pancakes and several options for side dishes were on the menu, as well as coffee and 3 fruit juices for drink options. No complaints at all there, that's for sure !
The motel also has a lot of items for sale in the gift shop, as well as in the halls around the gift shop. Reasonably priced, too. All being said, I would highly recommend this motel to anybody passing through Clayton, NM.

When traveling to New Mexico or Colorado we always stay at the Kokopelli Lodge in Clayton because of the service. The folks that serve you are the best, and the breakfast are just wonderful. The rooms are always clean and the personnel is just the best.

Very clean, great mattresses, good breakfast. It is clear to us that the owner of this hotel truly cares about the appearance of his property and the comfort of his guests. In the small town of Clayton, New Mexico, it is a welcome break after 740 miles of road noise.

In all our hotels on a 13 night trip, the best western inn Clayton NM ,had the nicest room, nicest bathroom products, ,restaurant , breakfast , service. I would live there if I could.iHowever, I don't think they had a pool. And there were not enough parking spaces to go with all the rooms. My hubby had to get permission to park in a no parking area and walk a distance in pouring rain to our room.

My husband and I stayed here one night, along with our small dog. During the reservation, I requested a first floor room. That is what we got. Very happy about that. The room was clean, nice shower. Beautiful outdoor area.
Dog walking area with provided bags. My pet peeve is people that don't pick up after their dogs. The bags are provided right there.
Check in was great. Very friendly desk personnel. Breakfast was great with REAL eggs.
Would definitely stay here again.

But the man at desk, Jessie, tried real hard, told us that the person should had key in don't not change. So if you go check with Jessie. Every thing else was great, room and breakfast.

Travelling from San Antonio to Colorado, stopped at the Kokopelli Lodge, and had a good stay. Employees were nice, efficient, and quick to take care of our requests. They have a great gift shop in the lobby if you needed anything. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was good. Will stay here again.

I have stayed at this hotel twice. The first time it was a very pleasant surprise. The second time, I deliberately sought out a room here for our stay between Texas and Colorado. The staff is excellent and the rooms are outstanding. Very clean and well stocked. The complimentary breakfast is a treat as well.

The hotel property was very nice and the rooms very large. The free breakfast was very good and still had plenty of hot foods available close to the time of them closing it down. My only negative was the lack of parking spaces. We arrived in town later in the evening and I think we took the last open parking space and it was on the opposite side of the property from our room.

I am 100% satisfied with our overnight stay at the Best Western. Nice decor, spotless rooms, comfortable bed, thick towels, delicious breakfast. The cherry on top of the sundae was the moment I saw the complimentary makeup remover wipe alongside the lotion and other toiletries right after realizing that I had forgotten to bring mine.

This property is decorated in Southwest style. I've stayed here at least 3 times in the past 5 years on my way to Colorado. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. The hotel maintenance is superior. The rates include a breakfast meal. Although the fare is not gourmet, it is a a good old fashioned American breakfast with an adequate variety of foods to satisfy everyone. Desk service is quick and every effort is made to please guests. I recommend Kokopelli and plan to stay again if the need arises.

From the front desk staff, breakfast staff, and housekeepers. The room was very clean, very comfy. Its an older hotel that was updated. Breakfast was great with lots of choices. They had a lovely gift shop also, For such a little town, it was a highlight.

I want a minimum of three things at my nightly stops: clean room, quiet, convenience. The Kokopelli Lodge provided all of those with other pluses as well. It is as well maintained as any I've stayed at, it has a very pleasant western motif throughout, serves a great breakfast, and its employees are all friendly and helpful from the front desk to the breakfast personnel.
If I were ever to travel through Clayton again, I would seek out the Kokopelli for my stay and I recommend it without hesitation to other travelers.
One thing over which the management has no control is the train whistles that sound during the night. This line seems to be the same one that goes through Dalhart, TX where we had a bad night years ago. Apparently it is up to the discretion of the engineers how long and how often they blow their whistles as they pass through western towns. Dalhart's were long and frequent, Clayton's more civilized. Also, the soundproofing at the Kokopelli is probably better.

I stayed 2-nights at this property in May. I was working in the area and selected the Kokopelli Lodge based on customer recommendation. The property is nice-looking from the outside and while you can tell it's an older property by the layout itself, the rooms have all been somewhat tastefully remodeled with a southwest flair to them I felt safe (the room doors open to the parking lot) and comfortable during my stay. They have a lovely morning breakfast buffet in the lobby area/building in the center of the property. Staff is all friendly by my encounters, as well! I would recommend staying here if in the area.

This hotel is decorated very nicely and every where we went it seemed to be clean. The beds was comfortable but the pillows were a little small. The breakfast was a very good breakfast with hot items available as well as continental. When we first checked in I was a little disappointed with the front desk clerk. She seemed to be having a bad day and was a little curt. Hopefully this was just a one time thing. We will stay here again if we are need to stay in Clayton.

This Best Western is wonderful. The decor is charming. The rooms are very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. We had a room with a king size bed and the room was very spacious and comfortable. The WiFi was not reliable but the location of this hotel is remote so reception would be iffy. We thought the breakfast was very good. There was a variety of items to select from and the food was fresh and tasted good. All the employees were professional, friendly and very helpful.

After a long driving day from Winter Park, CO, we arrived at the Best Western Kokoprlli Lodge in Clayton, NM. We had stayed there before so we knew what to expect - outstanding accommodations and service. We asked the lady at the desk where we could get something light for dinner and were told about several places. The motel is excellent, clean rooms and most importantly, a good, comfortable bed. The morning breakfast is absolutely the best we have experiences at any Best Western. If you manage to stay in Clayton, Best Western is the place.

Sebbyboy, Flower Mound, Texas

Okay. Clayton is in the middle of nowhere but if you are driving into NM or Colorado from Texas or OK Clayton is a great place to stop, sleep and eat on what is a scenic, tranquil drive North to Raton and on into either I-25 to Denver or back West to Red River, Eagles Nest, Taos, Santa Fe etc.
I love this drive and really enjoy staying the night at the Best Western Kokopelli. Reasonable clean rooms and Southwest decor throughout the buildings inside and out. Numerous, beautiful handicraft and Artisan items are for sale including Southwest themed jewelry, wall hangings, decorations, crucifixes etc.
The staff are friendly and helpful. The best part of the Kokopelli is the generous breakfast buffet with a good selection of hot items (sausage, ham, eggs, potatoes and both red and green pork chile) with tortillas, muffins/rolls, biscuits and yogurt. Also juice and coffee. A good start to another day's drive. BTW, you can purchase green and red chile by the quart to go. Frozen.
I have generally paid $100 to $120 per night plus taxes. Some may argue a tad pricey for this area but I think it is worth it. There is a Super 8 and a Days Inn (going on memory) that are likely less costly but without the decor, breakfast etc (I did stay once at Super 8 with a "cheap" friend so I know about it).
I suggest that you try the Kokopelli at least once. Do not forget breakfast and browsing the beautiful decorations for sale. You will be satisfied.
On a side note, eat at the Wildhorse Grill and/or The Eklund. Avoid the Rabbit Ears.

We ate at local café right down road and had great New Mexican food. the hotel is very clean and refurbished with beautiful southwestern décor. You can buy handcrafted items throughout hotel if you wish. the breakfast was the BEST point tho, we had home cooked food with touch of Mexican flair. green and red chile sauces and fried potatoes and real sausage, ham and eggs.

The room was very nice too. The breakfast buffet was outstanding! I have never had a meal like this in a motel before!! There were eggs, ham, sausage, potatoes, fresh baked rolls, biscuits & gravy.

Arrived at 8:50p on a Weds night. No place open in town to eat except a truck stop across the street. Nice enough hotel but overpriced- I suspect because they can. Lock on door broken. Took 15 mins to get in the room and then another hour for maintenance to change out the lock. The staff was friendly and apologetic and gave us a 10% disc. Breakfast was very good. We won't stay there again if we can help it. We'll stop in a larger town where there are restaurants and the hotels are cheaper. Would definitely stay there again if the price was reasonable.

The young woman at check-in was very welcoming and friendly. The room was spotless and everything was in working order. The front desk clerk even called later to ask if everything was OK. We would stay here again and would recommend it. Beware that they are on a very busy highway. All the traffic from Texas to Colorado goes through here. If you are noise sensitive, ask for a room at the back.

When we arrived there was construction at the hotel.
We made reservations online while driving when we knew where we would like to stop for the night. The price seemed very high for the area.
Our room was very nice, roomy and clean and updated!!!! A lot of southwestern decor.
We were very surprised there was no microwave in the room!
We would like to have had a table with two chairs instead of the little arm chair and little side table. TV channels were very limited and basic for the price of the room!
Had a lot of problems trying to connect to the Internet!
Never could get online and stay online or even get email!!! We called the front desk. All they could do was send someone who was not onsite to our room! It was too late for us by then. My wife was woken by the Train twice during the night!!!!
The refrigerator was loud and we could not turn it off.
So we turned on the continuous fan on the a/c which helped drown out the noises. Bath towels were very nice.
Breakfast was good.
As we left we still felt they were overpriced!
